Default 1973 Power Window- Help

So I have a new driver side window motor & power window wiring harness for my 1973 Corvette Stingray that I need to install. Does anybody have pictures or info to help me when I do the install?

I rebuilt my powers windows recently. This helped quite a bit.

This may sound like a dumb comment, but make sure you install the switch back the proper way and not upside down. The prior owner of my 73 replaced or rewired the drivers side power window and it's wired backwards, so the up position on the switch actually lowers the window. I'll fix it when I pull the door panel or console, but for now I just deal with it.
